Underrated Artists

Which music artists do you reckon are underrated?

I'll get the ball rolling with Royce da 5'9, ad Chamillionaire and Sway.

Sway is shit.

What's your idea of underrated? Because there are plenty of artist who are lavished with critical acclaim but are still rather obscure and no where near a household name. Are these artist underrated? Probably not, just not very well known.

Anyways I'm going to say Gadget Car.

Cover Drive

Johnny Cash was always underrated

Artist who are under-rated regardless of how "big" they are. Outkast for example (not just Andre)..known all over the world but people never mention them alongside the "great" Hip-Hop/RnB artists.

Also I searched for Gadget Car can only find one vid....Is this the same one?



Either way that's a pretty decent song

One of the best grime songs ever

She's shit! overrated imo!

George Benson

I though of andre when i entered.

Def one of the best.

Hopsin


One of the best "New-Gen" rappers imo!

Aint heard much of the others, I'll check em out after the Liverpool match and get back to you

There's a few artists who I listen to that aren't super-mainstream but I would steer away from calling them underrated because it might just be my music taste that endears them to me rather than them being better than they get credit for.
I'll name a couple anyway though;

Hot Chip
Feist
The Raconteurs

Dizzy Wright is good check him out for sure, Hopsin signed him to Funk Volume.

Blu has made LOADS on music have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu_(rapper)#Discography I think Blue is quality.

But yeah tell me what you think of the others.



Hopsin and Dizzy.

Swizz's voice is annoying as shit!

Speaking of people named Dizzy, you ever heard of this guy?......Also another underrated artist.

Yeah Swizz is shit. I think, he is ok to feature in songs but I would never listen to a full song of his.

That Dizzy guy is good but I am sick of the B&Y remixes. I'll have a look into more of his music.

Have you heard of T.T.? Because I haven't. Here he is.



I think this T.T. guy is sick but I cannot find any other song of his on YouTube, DatPiff or anywhere! Quite amazing how he has just gone into a song with Twista and Tech N9ne without any songs or anything on the Internet, not bad for your first song though eh?

also regarding swizz, his voice grows on you i guess. i haven't really listened to him with his own music

no way.

That Blu guy is brilliant The beat on everybody knows
Fashawn is incredible
The Kirko Bangz song was pretty shit tbh, clicked on a few of his other vids, some are Ok, others are complete shite.
Have always been a fan of Macklemore
That T.T guy didn't really impress...that may have something to do with the fact he's on the same track as Twista & Tech N9ne, Tech killed it btw!

Hot Chip

Feist are pretty shit
Am liking The Raconteurs..proper toe-tapping music

Ain't it Below the Heavens?

But that album is amazing. Its a shame he said he doesn't see him self rapping past 30. He wants to focus on producing.

Justin Bieber

Blue Scholars
Psycho Realm
Macklemore

below, above, potato, po-ta-toe

Nickelback LOL. The fact they're considered music means they're already over rated.

Anyway I'd say the likes of Libertines, Miles Kane, Nick Drake are all under rated.

Neako anyone?

They're so terrible.

Amazing, check this guy. I still am.

WTF @ some of Ahly's choices.


As for the rest, you might as well just rename this as "This shit rap thread"

Chase N. Cashe, his beats are amazing. Check him out.

Common.

Wouldn't call Chamillionaire underrated, I respect him for that label stuff, though.

Check out this guy naow. Just downloaded his mixtape.
